Well...the good news is the falcon made it from New York in good shape....was kind of concerned with the convertible top etc...had visions of it coming loose and blowing away....anyway...that is the good news. Unfortunately it appears the starter solenoid went bad....and the battery is dead. When put on a jumper the solenoid will just "click"....if that is the only problem no big deal....but my question...
Could a problem with the solenoid also drain the battery? Who knows...they could have left something on that drained it or...perhaps there is some sort of electrical problem that drained it...if so...yeeck!
I'm hoping that it is a bad solenoid....it was driven shortly before the seller put it on the truck....and has pretty much been on the truck since...but when they went to off load it was dead....

Any thoughts...?
thanks
Hal
